How To Use Recycled Rubber Tree Rings

The mats are made with a split thru the middle to allow positioning
around the tree, But one can easily cut the mat with a pair of shears
or small saw to fit many tree sizes. The mats come ready to use from the
shipping box.

You may want to dig out an inch of dirt to
allow the mats to sit flush with the ground. The 48” and 60” diameters
are very helpful for the large trees in your yard or the trees you feel
may grow to be large in a few years.

The mats offer many benefits such as saving
the time and labor of repeated mulching with loose mulch and preventing
the loss of loose mulch due to rain or irrigation drainage.

Tree rings are great in the backyard but are
also useful for commercial tree growers and farmers who grow produce
from trees that require mulching such as apples. Also they are porous
so they will allow rainwater pass through.
